“If I even bring up anything about a contract, I will be killed,” Edelman said.

Edelman earned his payday after catching 105 passes for 1,056 yards with six touchdowns in 2013. He signed a one-year, $1 million contract last offseason.

Edelman officially signed his deal Monday evening. His contract is worth less than what the Patriots gave fellow receiver Danny Amendola in 2013 ($28.5 million over five years with $10 million guaranteed).
